ComradeBryukhanov:

Haveyou quite normalised relations with Potyaev? Have
you erased every trace of thesquabble?That is imperative.

Iam not blaming you for the squabble, but someone
(? who?) on the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat
for Food. I don’t know who was chiefly to blame. I think
your fault lies in weakness: you should have found the
squabbler and given him a severe drubbing in public,
letting me sign a paper issuing him a reprimand. I believe
there is a trouble-maker on the Collegium of the People’s
Commissariat for Food!

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin
